Still You
Ashley Sternum Nov 2013
It’s been a while but these wounds are still fresh
I can still feel the cold metal rip through my flesh
I can’t bear to see, hear or think with this aching in my chest
Despite it all, I don’t love you any less

It’s all too much for somebody so meek
It was a cascade of curses once we finally hit our peak
When we see each other now we lose all ability to speak
And it sometimes makes me wonder when we all became so weak

I'll do anything now if it numbs out the pain
Nothing’s too risky, too scary, insane
A friend of the bottle, compared to others seems tame
The only friend we still share will forever remain unchanged

I find it easier to breathe when I’m so gone that I am numb
There’s no solace in the darkness, not the tiniest bit of sun
There’s no solace in the darkness, but also nowhere else to run
For with love the most deadliest drug, my dear, it never seems to be done

— The End —
